Fender roller?

[65rat]

What are people doing to repair fenders? do they make a roller specific for this or maybe an English wheel/ Just curious what I may be looking for in the future.

Harbor freight used to sell a small english wheel perfect for rolling fenders, but I think they discontinued it several years ago.

I was looking into one of these...

From what Ive read and seen, they did make a dedicated fender roller, they are very expensive when you can find one. It seems many are using the english wheel.

I need a English wheel so bad :roll:

To elaborate on what Ive found out...

A dedicated fender roller requires a little skill to operate, but is easier to learn than using the english wheel. Just a basic understanding of how to work sheetmetal is helpful.

The english wheel requires more skill to operate than the roller, you can end up with a pile of stretched out sheetmetal that once resembled a fender pretty easy. Sheetmetal shrink/stretch knowledge is essential.

Ok I have an english wheel on the way now. It was quite abit cheaper but is the same one. I'll play with it and figure it out :roll:
